SASH-FASTENER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 582,207, dated May 11, 1897.

Application filed August 1,1896. Serial No. 601,361, (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, WVILLIAM S. HUBER, a

- citizen of the United States, and a resident of Leavenworth, in the county of Leavenworth and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash-Locks for lVindows, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to looks for windowsashes; and the object thereof is to provide a device of this class which is simple in construction and operation, and which is adapted to securely lock and hold the sash in a closed position, and which may be so constructed and applied as to securely lock and hold the sash open or in any desired position.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which Figure 1 is a side view of a portion of the frame of the window and also a portion of the sash, said parts being shown partially in section and provided with my improved lock;

and Fig. 2, a plan or front View thereof.

In the drawings forming part of this specification, A represents a portion of the frame of the window, and B a portion of the sash, and in the practice of my invention I secure in the frame A, adjacent to the sash B, a tubular socket O, and formed in the sash B is a chamber D, over which is placed a metal plate E, which is secured to the sash B by screws or bolts 1).

Mounted in the lowerportion of the chamber D is a lever G, which is provided at its upper end with an outwardly-directed arm g and with an inwardly-directed shoulder or projection g and pivotally connected with the shoulder or projection g is a lever 11, which is provided with a crank h, which projects through a bayonet-slot K, formed in the plate E. The slot K is provided at its inner end with an extension 70 and at its outer end with a similar extension W, and secured in the bottom of the chamber D is a spring L, which is adapted to bear on the inner side of the lever G.

The operation will be readily understood from the foregoing description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the following statement thereof.

WVhen it is desired to lock the sash, it must be lowered so that the arm 9 on the lever G will enter the tubular socket C, and when this is done the crank h of the lever H is raised into the main part of the slot K and then moved outwardly, so as to force the arm g into the tubular socket (Latter which the crank h is depressed into the extensionlc of the slot K, and in this position of the crank h the arm g will be locked in the socket O, and the sash will be securely locked 'in position and cannot be moved or raised until the crank his raised out of the extension In of the slot K and moved outwardly into the position shown in Fig. 2.

It will be apparent that a number of the sockets C may be employed and that saidsockets may be arranged at any desired point in the frame A, and the sash B may therefore be locked or held in any desired position.

It will thus be seen that I accomplish the object of my invention by means of a device which is simple in operation and construction and comparatively inexpensive, and it is evident that changes in and modifications of the construction herein described may be made without departing from the spirit of chamber, and provided with an outwardlydirected arm which is adapted to enter a socket formed in the window-frame, said le-' ver being also provided with a supplemental.

lever, which is pivotally connected therewith on the side opposite said arm, and which is provided at its free end with a crank which my invention 1 have signed my name, in presextends through a slot formed in said plate ence of the subscribing witnesses, this 13th [0 or cover, said slot being provided at each end day of May, 1896. with downwardly-directed extensions and a T q v 5 spring secured in saidchamberand operating ILLIAM HUBER to force said lever outwardly, substantially lVitnesses:

as shown and described. E. W. TERRY, In testimony that I claim the foregoing as E. COLLINS.
